Diabetes UK Guildford & South-West Surrey Group
Service
Our support group is part of a network of local groups spread around the UK, supported by the Diabetes UK Charity. The number of people currently diagnosed with diabetes in our area is nearly 10,000, and rising.
We're not able to give medical advice. But we are here to a) provide support to everyone with diabetes, their families and carers, b) to provide sources of information to help you learn more about diabetes, and c) share our experiences of living with the condition.
The group has regular zoom meetings and has recently started coffee mornings for those who prefer face to face meetings.

Service
Description of service:
Surrey Stroke Recovery Service offers practical support and advice for stroke survivors, carers and their family.
How does it work?
When you’re referred to our service our Stroke Association Support Coordinators will work with you to identify your needs, and support you to rebuild your life after stroke.
We offer:
• A personalised review of all your needs.
• Someone to talk to who understands.
• Tips and advice to support your recovery.
• Information about stroke and local services.
• Advice on reducing your risk of a further stroke.
• The chance to share experiences with others in a similar situation.

When stroke strikes, part of your brain shuts down.
And so does a part of you. Life changes instantly and recovery is tough. But the brain can adapt. Our specialist support, research and campaigning are only possible with the courage and determination of the stroke community. With more donations and support from
you, we can rebuild even more lives.
